Sports director Sean Shelton (32): “I am convinced that we will have one of the best offensive lines in the European League of Football.”
To do this, Thomas moved to Germany with his wife and four children. The family, including the nanny, landed in Munich at the beginning of the year with a total of 21 (!) suitcases. After all, the football star has already found a place to stay.
Thomas: “For several weeks I got up at 2:30 a.m. American time and searched the Internet. That was stressful. When I signed the contract I had tears in my eyes.”
